Every now and again when the world seems blue
And all of the trials there disappear in you
They say that there's a way to get across the bridge
But I wouldn't be standing here upon this ridgeIf I thought that I knew
That the way to get across to you
Was this high and winding stair, I'd be thereI saw the destiny of nations on TV
I didn't want to miss it so I didn't go to sleep
It really was exciting when the whole world turned to rust
But I wouldn't be human and made out of this dustYou hold me very closely as we walk along the sand
You tell me that you'll meet me where the water meets the land
I know I ain't the only one to feel so minute
But I wouldn't be standing here looking so cuteThere will be time enough for sorrow
I'll be there, I'll be there
Yesterday's gone until tomorrow
I don't care, I don't careEver since the world began and back before that too
You took me in your confidence and told me I was you
It just seems kind of funny now to walk along the path
And I wouldn't be standing here about to laugh
